Rise of the Videogame Level One DSR XVID-BiTE

pretty good show

from the discovery channel web site:

\"rise of the videogame: level one

the video game started not with a bang, but with a ping. where did simple
games like pong and pacman come from? and how did these global phenomenons
usher in the videogame revolution?\"


upcoming episodes:


november 28
\"rise of the videogame: level two

in the late \'70s, early \'80s, video games gained their face. game creators
became more liberated to create more complex video games and icons like mario
and zelda began to give way to grittier characters. learn how video game
technology has evolved.\"


december 5
\"rise of the videogame: level three

video games go 3-d, but the details they capture in the new virtual worlds are
both awe-inspiring and disturbingly realistic. critics begin to question if
games are becoming too real, too violent, too addictive. game designers begin
wrestling with ethics.\"


december 12
\"rise of the videogame: level four

\'god games\' begin simulating entire worlds and allow players to experiment
with sometimes troubling cause and effect. artificial intelligence creates
lifelike characters and opens up opportunities for new learning tools and for
artistic expression.\"

this sounds like its going to be a good doc i may have to download this sometime.

it's great, even if you know all of this it's still worth a watch.

oh how cool. i didn't think we'd get this one. thanks eztv!

pretty good show. nice to learn how pong, pacman, and tetris were created

too real? what does that mean. more real than real life???

still, gonna watch it just the same. sounds great.

this is the same as i, video game, which was released a few months ago

good stuff, i dig these types of things. it's like downloading windows 1 and
laughing at it. you just wanna take the newest stuff back in time and make them
drool..

cheers!

ugh why did they upload the dsr version even though a pdtv is out?
rise.of.the.video.game.s01e01.pdtv.xvid-sstv ?

dsr: digital stream rip. that means the source is normal analog tv (pal, ntsc).
pdtv: pure digital tv. source: american atsc or european dvb.

technically a pdtv shouldnt exist, hdtv yeah but not pdtv
the silmucast was hd not sd on an hd channel which iirc is the other way a show
can be tagged pdtv

pdtv is capped from hdtv channels...

if it was aired 4:3 ar on a 720p/1080i channel, it's pdtv.

dsr is resolutions lower than 576i

oooh sweet, just found out about this show haha. any show about video games is
a good show to me!
